Elbit Systems Secures $175 Million in Contracts for Unnamed NATO Country

Elbit Systems, a leading Israeli defense electronics company, announced on Tuesday that it has been awarded two significant contracts totaling $175 million (NIS 620 million) for the supply of Electronic Warfare (EW) and Directed Infrared Countermeasure (DIRCM) Self-Protection Suites. These contracts are aimed at enhancing the defense capabilities of a European NATO country and will span over five years.

The contracts include the provision of advanced Self-Protection Suites for installation on Embraer C-390 Millennium aircraft and Airbus H225M helicopters. Additionally, Elbit Systems will deliver an Advanced EW suite for another European country’s Embraer C-390 Millennium aircraft. The suite is designed to autonomously detect, analyze, and counter a wide range of airborne threats, incorporating Elbit's cutting-edge technologies, including:

Elbit Systems will also supply the SPEAR Advanced ECM Pod, a versatile system that can be easily installed and transferred between aircraft.

Oren Sabag, General Manager of Elbit Systems ISTAR & EW, emphasized that with the installation of their EW Self-Protection Suites on over 30 aircraft types and deployment in various NATO member countries, Elbit is a recognized global leader in Electronic Warfare and DIRCM technology. He noted that these new contracts further solidify the company's position in the airborne self-protection sector.

The contracts come on the heels of additional success for Elbit Systems, with Israel’s Ministry of Defense recently signing contracts worth $40 million (NIS 150 million) for advanced drones and autonomous systems. These systems, designed for precision intelligence gathering and targeted strikes, were developed in collaboration with the Ministry's Directorate of Defense Research and Development (Mafat) and the IDF's Ground Forces.
